The specific embodiment
Below in conjunction with drawings and Examples the present invention is described in further detail.
As shown in Figure 1 and Figure 2, a kind of arc stud welding gun, comprise double-screw bolt anchor clamps 10 (arc welding electrode), vertical installing plate 1, a motor 2 is fixed by support 11 in the one side top of installing plate 1, the middle part is provided with ball screw assembly,, promptly bearing 4, leading screw 5 and with the feed screw nut 6 of its threaded engagement, leading screw 5 is connected with the rotating shaft of motor 2 by a shaft coupling 3, be provided with a straight-line motion mechanism 12 between ball screw assembly, and installing plate 1 bottom, this straight-line motion mechanism 12 can be a guide rail.Feed screw nut 6 and a connector 7 are fixing, and are connected with double-screw bolt anchor clamps 10 by a pressure sensor 8, and double-screw bolt anchor clamps 10 are provided with collets 9 with pressure sensor 8 junctions.The motion of stud welding gun is realized by installing plate 1, motor 2, ball screw assembly, and rectilinear motion unit 12, they have constituted accurately controlled linear motion platform of a displacement, are used for the control signal (driving of motor can realize by the motion controller that is connected with the motion control unit signal of master computer) of responsive computer.
Pressure between double-screw bolt and the workpiece is passed to pressure sensor 8 by double-screw bolt anchor clamps 10, realizes the real-time monitoring to pressure.The effect of collets 9 has two: one is the influence of heavy current when preventing that motor 2 on the rectilinear motion unit 12 from being welded, and another is to prevent that the sensing element in the pressure sensor 8 from being welded the influence of heavy current.
As shown in Figure 3, pressure sensor 8 comprises a gland 20 that is connected with connector 7 and screening can 21, a response body 24 is set in the screening can 21, the upper end of response body 24 is weldingly fixed on the gland 20, the lower end of response body 24 is connected with described collets 9 and double-screw bolt anchor clamps 10 by a connector 22, resistance strain gage 23 is installed in the upper and lower both sides of response body 24 horizontal boom 25, and near response body 24 upper ends and position, horizontal boom 25 junction, because the strain effect of horizontal boom 25 after this position is stressed is the most responsive.So it is best that resistance strain gage 23 is arranged on this position effect, resistance strain gage 23 can adopt the Hui Sitong strain bridge, by the power supply of 5VDC constant voltage, bridge circuit impedance: 120 Ω; Bridge circuit form: Hui Sitong full-bridge.This strain bridge can capture the faint deformation of horizontal boom 25, and detected signal is exported to the data acquisition unit of master computer.Output cable length is 2m four-core shielded cable; Output signal: cooperating the transmitter that matches is 0~5V; Synthesis precision: 0.04%FS; Duplicate measurements error: 0.04%FS; Output at zero point: 3%FS; Sensitivity: 1.3mV/V; Overload capacity: 130%FS.Screening can 2 adopts metal material to make, and its small-signal that foil gauge 23 is produced is avoided outside strong weld current interference.
Pressure sensor 8 not only will be born the dynamometry function, promptly detect double-screw bolt and send the active force between the double-screw bolt termination and workpiece in the process to, to realize real-time monitoring to pushing inlet pressure, but also to bear the function that is rigidly connected of rotating mechanism and double-screw bolt anchor clamps 10, it is the pressure transmitting function, make it when detecting the double-screw bolt pushing inlet pressure, the rectilinear motion of ball screw assembly, is passed to double-screw bolt anchor clamps 10 (welding gun electrode).

As shown in Figure 4, corollary equipment of the present invention is made up of universal host computer and programming system two parts.Programming system is made up of man-machine interaction program, motion control program and data processor.During welding operation, the operator at first calculates the experiment parameter such as the parameters such as welding gun hoisting depth, hoisting velocity of welding gun motion by master control human-computer interaction device's input, the data computation memory device of master computer, export control signal according to the welding gun pressure sensor state that the parameter that obtains and data collecting card collect by motion control unit, the rotating speed of control stud welding gun motor 2, and then the motion of control double-screw bolt, finish the whole process of stud welding.
The welding method of above-mentioned arc stud welding gun specifically comprises the steps:
(1) process is sent in precompressed to, at first send instruction to motion controller by the control module of main control computer, thereby 2 rotations of motion controller control motor drive leading screw-nut kinematic pair 5,6 and pressure sensor 8 rectilinear motions, make the double-screw bolt anchor clamps 10 that are connected with sensor 8 drive double-screw bolt and move to surface of the work.Simultaneously, the signal of the continuous detected pressures sensor 8 of the meeting of the data collecting card in the main control computer.Double-screw bolt does not contact with workpiece at the beginning, and sensor 8 and no signal output contacts when double-screw bolt moves to workpiece, and the structure that is rigidly connected that contact force is constituted by double-screw bolt anchor clamps 10, collets 9, connector 22 passes on the interior response body 24 of sensor 8.The cantilever 25 of response body 24 produces strain under the effect of pressure, make the resistance strain gage 23 on it produce signals output, and the data collecting card in the main control computer is judged the situation that contacts of double-screw bolt and workpiece by the size that detects this signal.Along with the increase of sending displacement to, the power of sending to also increases thereupon, and the process end is sent in precompressed to when reaching the precompression that expectation in advance obtains, and the pressure when precompression can be set at double-screw bolt and closely contacts with workpiece gets final product.
(2) promote arc process, connect the welding current that connects double-screw bolt anchor clamps 10, reverse motors 2 also promotes double-screw bolt according to 20 mm/second hoisting velocities and realizes that electric arc ignites.
(3) timing maintenance process when double-screw bolt is thus lifted to setting height, during as 4 millimeters, stops motor 2 rotations and stable welding current and forms certain molten bath.Because double-screw bolt does not contact with workpiece, and strain transducer body 24 does not have stressed, so acquisition system detects and to be pressure-less state in this process, and the timing retention time is 1200 milliseconds.
(4) process is sent in welding to, closes welding current, and what reverse motors 2 realized double-screw bolts once more send motion down, and feed rate is 23 mm/second, sends upset force to and is redefined for 60 newton.When pressure sensor 8 detected this upset force, motion controller stopped motor 2 and rotates, and the whole process of sending to is realized by 2 rotations of computer motion module control motor.
The welding effect of the above embodiment of the present invention can be referring to Fig. 6 b.
Fig. 5 and Fig. 6 show the present invention and traditional welding process pushing inlet pressure to actual welding effect contrast when.Fig. 5 a is a contact force situation of change between welding gun double-screw bolt end face and the workpiece in the welding process under the constant situation of preset pressure value.From Fig. 5 a, can see, between welding process incipient stage double-screw bolt termination and workpiece, have certain precompression, the tight contact when guaranteeing striking between the two, simultaneously for common stud welding, this power also is the source that double-screw bolt is sent pushing inlet pressure in the process to; Next be that the double-screw bolt motion stops to weld the maintenance stage this stage electric arc sustained combustion; Be that the stage is sent in arc stud welding at last, along with double-screw bolt is constantly sent to, the pressure between termination and the workpiece is also in continuous increase.Common arc stud welding does not possess the detection control device of this power, the distance of sending to is that the spring precompressed value by initial setting realizes, therefore, this pressure size and send distance to and can not automatically judge and adjust in the process of welding, to diameter 16mm stud welding the time, can't form reliable joint because the power of sending to is not enough, so welding effect is relatively poor (sees Fig. 6 a).Fig. 5 b is for adopting the control principle of stud welding gun of the present invention and welding method, the variation that detects this pressure by homemade pressure sensor 8 judges double-screw bolt sends whether the double-screw bolt termination closely contacts with workpiece in the process to exactly, whether the size that is pressure has reached setting value, controls the feed motion of double-screw bolt by this power.Setting value choose the effective evaluation that then derives from actual welding.Can find out that from the figure of Fig. 5 b when pressure reaches preset value, as 60 newton of above-mentioned embodiment, welding gun will respond rapidly and stop to send to.Can see from Fig. 6 b, to diameter 16mm stud welding the time, by the quality of welding point obviously being improved to sending progressively increasing of power to,
